Color wheel fun

To help us review for our color theory test I bring in vanilla wafers and three cans of frosting that have been dyed into the primary colors and we make edible colorwheels. This is by far one of the kids' favorite lessons. First they have to take the primary colors and mix the twelve colors of the colorwheel so that they can frost the wafers. But before they can eat their colorwheel we review all of our vocabulary and color schemes as our test review. Then at long last I let them eat their wheels.
